Abstract
The genetic burden underlying venous thrombosis (VT) is characterized by a sibling relative risk of 2.5 and a strong heritability whose estimates varied from 35% to 60% according to different studies. However, the genetic factors identified so far only explain about 5% of VT heritability and just 16 genes have been robustly associated with the susceptibility to VT, most of them affecting the coagulation cascade. Eight of these have been...
